I'm afraid this is it...

[TaChapm]

I have been contracting every 3 minutes for about an hour and they are much stronger than they have been. They calmed down a bit when I took a bath but are coming back. If it carries on for another 30 minutes we are headed to the hospital. Please send good vibes...It's just too early.

Tara, I'm sure you are very scared, but 30 weeks babies usually do VERY, VERY well long term. Getting past 28 weeks is a HUGE milestone in terms of long term outcomes for premature babies.

Many hugs, and I hope the contractions stop.

[brittone2]

Tara-
My thoughts are with you today...hopefully they can hold Jaci off a little while longer, but I hope you can take some comfort in the fact that she had the steroids already and that most 30 weekers do really well long term, as Beth said.

Crossing my fingers that they can get Jaci to stay put.

[lizajane]

holding my breath for jaci... can't wait for an update. i am praying all is well.

It was a VERY long night but we are home. The contractions eased up once we got to the hospital. I dilated another 1/2 centimeter and my Cervix is much softer than last week but my doctor felt good that the contractions were so strong and they didn't do much. I am still having some pretty strong contractions again today but they are more spaced out. I am so relieved that she didn't keep me in the hospital. If I start in like I did last night I have to go back in but for now I am HOME and Jaci is staying put. Every day is another bonus so we will take what we can.

The BBB magic vibes seem to be working. Thank you all so much and keep them coming!

When she's older you'll have to tell her the story about how impatient she was, and about all the little BBB elves forcing her to stay put with their combined mental powers! :)

So glad you're back home and everything has calmed down. JACI, STAY PUT!

Good news! Keep staying put, Baby Jaci!!

Tara-

So glad you are back home. Take it easy and I hope the strong contractions continue to ease up.

[lmintzer]

Great news, Tara. I'm sure they would have kept you if they thought her arrival was imminent, so getting to go home is a great sign.

Every day DOES matter, so good job hanging on one more, Miss Jaci.

Hope you are able to rest with your two boys--I read posts like yours and think "Bedrest? That wouldn't work in my house. I'd have to check into a hotel!"

[almostamom]

Glad to hear your good news. Now stay put awhile longer little Jaci!

Hugs,

Sorry I missed your first post, but I'm glad to hear Jaci's still hanging on. Sending a prayer your way.

[saschalicks]

I didn't see the original post but I was so glad to see you had posted that you were home. Every time I see your posts about this I pray that you will be home with Jaci still in her little comfy womb.

Jaci please believe me it is so much better in there then out here. I promise we'll all be super excited when you come even if it is later.

[set81616]

I'm so glad you're home. I will keep you in my thoughts. I am looking forward to a post about your're beautiful, healthy, full term (or very close to it) baby girl being brought home.

[Dcclerk]

That's great, Tara. I hope that you have many more weeks of growing Baby Jaci! (BTW: should I be pronouncing it pronounced Jay-cee or Jackie in my head?)

[mamicka]

Oh - I'm so thrilled to see this update!

[chiqanita]

Glad Jaci has decided to wait a little longer, no reason to be early for the birthday party! We'll have to talk to Jaci about being stylishly late. But seriously, I'm glad you're back home and I'll say a prayer for you and Jaci.

[mommy_someday]

Phew! Glad to hear Jaci is staying put for the time being.
I hope she keeps it up!

[annasmom]

THANK GOODNESS Tara!! That is such great news!! I hope that baby girl stays put!! She is trying to add a bit of high drama into your life life and she isn't even born yet!! Wait until she is a teenager!!

[TaChapm]

Thanks for pointing this out! :) It is Jaycee not Jackie. I guess we could have just kept it simple by spelling it Jaycee but Jaci just seems like a cute bubbley little girl more than Jaycee. Does that make any sense? We wanted something that you don't hear often but somthing that wasn't too out there. Her name will be Jaci Renee (or Rene...I still can't decide). Right now it is just Jaci STAY PUT!

Glad you are home, and I hope Jaci decides to hang out in her cozy little nest for a while longer :)

[daisymommy]

I just jumped on this morning to see if everything was okay with you and Jaci. So relieved to know she is still safe and warm in your tummy, and that you are home :) Take care of you!

[kboyle]

just saw this, glad to see that jaci is staying put & holding on for a bit longer!

[cmdunn1972]

What a relief! Please keep us updated.

[CharmedOne]

Tara,

I'm so glad to hear you're home. STAY PUT just a little longer Jaci!

I prefer Renee over Rene for a girl. It's the feminine version. My parents gave me and my siblings (all six of us) French names, so it irritates me when people mispell my name with a "y". It's pronounced with a soft "i", but it's spelled Caroline not Carolyn, thank you very much. That's just my opinion, but you can spell it any way you like. :)

And I think Jaci is the perfect spelling.

I think it's the perfect speeling too. Jackie never even occured to me!
